If you could have dinner with anyone (past or present)
who would it be and why?
It would be a dream come
true if I could have dinner with Nelson Mandela. His tenacity
to speak truth to power in an environment that persecuted such
displays of freedom and his perseverance to overcome the
consequences of his truth telling speaks volumes of his character;
I would love to drink from the cup of his wisdom and learn from
someone who has mastered this degree of humility.
